#114 session

Today was a great eye day. The depth and the summation is just getting stronger. When I pulled into my normal spot coming home from work, looking around, I saw layers of depth, inside my car, the dashboard, and outside. It's still not yet stereopsis. I won't have that until the diplopia is gone. But I am really enjoying what I am seeing. And today I was playing Shadow Warrior in stereo 3d. I am now able to put the convergence settings up really high since my eyes are now pretty powerful. And man, the 3d effects were great today. It was really enjoyable.

But there's still work to be done. Columns went well, particularly when I was near the end. The input coming into the fixing eye when I was fixing with the lazy eye was getting pretty crisp near the end. It's all just a matter of degree; incremental improvements. It makes it difficult for me to say things that are interesting. One thing I feel I should mention that I don't think I did before: I've been upping the tempo on the metronome, way up--like up to 130 bpm when I'm doing the normal columns sheet, and then I go down to 90 bpm when I do the star-shaped sheet. This is because I'm using the normal columns sheet to build motor control and to let my brain know what it's like to move the muscles controlling the lazy eye; and because I use the star-shaped sheet primarily to build peripheral vision in addition to motor control.

Bouncy is actually pretty good. I saw the most improvement in that since last time. I just try to tilt my head both ways and get the balls to be as close to single as possible, and I have to say--I'm very happy with where I am relative to where I was. It's interesting because the depth effects I'm already starting to get are pretty awesome... and I still have a significant amount of double vision.

Saccades went well--better than last time.

The light tube, again... my prime focus is brightness. Interestingly, when I focus on brightness, the out-of-sync accommodation problem seems to go away. I got a lot of time in on the light tube while achieving a high level of brightness. This is similar to yesterday. And it was yesterday that I said that I expected to see some good stuff today, which I did. So let's see what we get tomorrow.
